Headquartered in Chile, a fast food chain called Lomito'n is famous for their pork sandwiches:

As if that weren't enough to delight any monsterkid, they also gave us these very cool monster toys:

These very stylized 5" figures are glow-in-the-dark and were each issued in both opaque and slightly translucent soft white plastic. They are quite rare.

Most of the examples of these toys were sold on eBay by a seller out of Argentina who said these were given out in that country in 1999.

Somewhere, perhaps even on the old yahoo message board, the name of the sculptor of this line has come up. If I remember correctly he did them for an American chain which then never releaed them, and he was surprised to find that they had been made in Chile. Anyone know/remember/find that?

I also can't find photos of the European Burger King releases. They had one or two happy meal style boxes, masks for each character, the packaging insert sheets have art work of all four monsters, and a cardbord scene (with sunken Rita) is included with the Creature.

I hope someone can locate that conversation.

The restaurant chain started in Chile and expanded into Argentina.

As far as I aware, all of the known examples that were sold on eBay originated in Argentina. When I questioned the seller, he told me that they had been premiums from a Lomito'n in Argentina. He could have been making the whole thing up.

These could have been prototypes or illegal copies. That would explain why so few have been seen and the fact that they were produced using two different plastics.

It was issued in 2010 in to commemorate the "Wolfman" re-make, but it features an image of the original "Wolf Man" from 1941. It was evidently available only at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in Austin, Texas.

Since it had such a limited market, I assume it was given away for a premier of the re-make and not sold by the Cinema or anyone else.
